D AG Prince Louis Battenberg is burning the Admiralty lights down low DAG Silently sifting through papers sealed with a crown DAGD Admiral Lord Fisher is writing to Churchill, calling for more Dreadnoughts AG The houses in Hackney are all falling down
D AD And my grandmother sits on the beach in the days before the war A#DFG Young girl writing her diary, while time seems to pause A#DF Watching the waves as they come one by one to die on the shore A#AD Kissing the feeeeeeeeeeet of England.
DA Oh the lights of Saint Petersburg come on as usual GDAG Although the air seems charged with a strangeness of late, yet there's nothing to touch DAG And the Tsar in his great Winter Palace has called for the foreign news DAG An archduke was shot down in Bosnia, but nothing much
D AD And my grandmother sits before the mirror in the days before the war A#DFG Smiling a secret smile as she goes to the door A#DF And the young man rides off in his carriage, homeward once more A#AD And the sun sets gentlyyyyyyyyyyyy on England.
DAG Ah the day we decided to drive down to Worthing, it rained and rained DAG Giving us only a minute to stand by the sea DAG And crunching my way through the shingles, it seemed there was nothing changed DAG Though the jetty was maybe more scarred that I'd known it to be
D AD And Mandi and I stood and stared at the overcast sky A#DG Where ten years ago we had stood, my Grandfather and I A#D And the waves still rushed in as they had the year that he died A#D And it seemed that my lifetime was shrunken and lost in the tide A#AD As it rose and fell on the sideeeeeeeeeee of England
